Sounds like an early mod. I've seen them and mods to the C-Line were quite common back in the late '70s and early '80's. I'm thinking that it's actually harder to find an R-4C that doesn't have any changes. The folks who bought Drakes were generally more willing to go inside and soup them up.

From: Robb Urie Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 11:52 PM To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Subject: [Drakelist] Help in identify a "Mod" in my R-4C Howdy, While installing 4 of the Sherwood mods in my R-4C, I came across a pre-existing circuit board that turned-out to be a replacement product detector. I removed it to make way for the new PD-4, but am curious is this could be one of the early Sherwood ones or maybe a Santori version. It is on a small perf board and uses a Motorola HEP C6050G IC. I don’t have any of the HR magazines that described the DIY mods, maybe it’s time to get the CDs. I’m just wondering what it is...I’ve had this set since 1995 and have only installed the Inrad GUF-1 up to now. I've also done the LED lamp kits and they look great. For those who maybe considering doing any mods, be aware that wayward soldering irons love s-meter pots. For the folks who despise any Mods, sorry for the offense. Thanks for any info. 73, Robb N0RU Woodland Park, CO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
